Disclosure reports for Wisconsin campaign finance and lobby activity, due Jan. 31, contain a wealth of information, only a smidgen of which has garnered media attention. Here are some highlights:

Republican Gov. Scott Walker, as expected, is way in front of his Democratic challenger, businesswoman Mary Burke. Walker reported raising $5.1 million in the last six months of 2013, compared to Burke's $1.8 million, both mostly from individual contributions. Walker ended the reporting period with $4.6 million cash on hand; Burke had $1.3 million.
